Patient's question:
7 years of taking naps has caused stomach pain, but the pain disappears when I wake up. My appetite hasn't decreased. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Your current recurring symptoms of stomach pain are more likely to indicate gastritis, so it's best to undergo a gastroscopy for a thorough diagnosis. Medication should be taken according to the prescribed course. You can take some traditional Chinese medicine formulations like Kuihua Weikangling, which can be quite effective. For stomach issues, it's important to drink less beer, smoke less, and eat fewer stimulating foods. Additionally, avoid very cold foods. Meals should be taken at regular times and in appropriate quantities—aim for an early, substantial breakfast, a lighter lunch, and a minimal dinner. Only by developing good habits can the stomach's function gradually improve.
